AN OLD-FASHIONED GIRL. By LOUISA M. ALCOTT. Boston: ROBERTS BROTHERS.
New-York: D. APPLETON & Co.
The author of "Little Women" seeks, and not without success, to draw
from her "Old-Fashioned Girl" a contrast and a moral. She presents to
our view two young ladies of opposite "styles." One is fresh and rural:
the other isn't. The difference between country and city bringing-up is
the point aimed at; and the difference is about as great as that between
the warbling of woodside birds and the jingle of one of OFFENBACH'S
tunes on a corner barrel-organ. The book is neatly set forth, with
illustrations by Messrs. ROBERTS, BROTHERS, of Boston.
RED AS A ROSE IS SHE. By the author of "Cometh up as a Flower," etc.
New-York: D. APPLETON & Co.
A readable book, notwithstanding that there are several naughty
characters in it, or perhaps _because_ there are. Probably it depicts
with truth the kind of society presented. If so, all the worse for
society. Shall we never again have healthful, virtuous novels of the old
school, such as "Tom Jones?" The book is published in tasteful form by
Messrs. D. APPLETON & Co.

| _From Professor E. M. Gallaudet, of the National Deaf Mute |
| College._ |
| |
| "The results which crowned the labor of the first week were |
| so astonishing that he fears to detail them fully, lest |
| doubts should be raised as to his credibility. But this much |
| he does not hesitate to claim, that, after a study of less |
| than two weeks, he was able to sustain conversation in the |
| newly-acquired language on a great variety of subjects." |
| |
| FROM THE ENGLISH PRESS. |
| |
| "The principle may be explained in a line--it is first |
| learning the language, and then studying the grammar, and |
| then learning (or trying to learn) the language."--_Morning |
| Star_. |
| |
| "We know that there are some who have given Mr. |
| Prendergast's plan a trial, and discovered that in a few |
| weeks its results had surpassed all their |
| expectations."--_Record_. |
| |
| "A week's patient trial of the French Manual has convinced |
| me that the method is sound."--_Papers for the |
| Schoolmaster_. |

| "The simplicity and naturalness of the system are |
| obvious."--_Herald_ (Birmingham.) |
| |
| "We know of no other plan which will infallibly lead to the |
| result in a reasonable time."--_Norfolk News_. |
| |
| FROM THE AMERICAN PRESS. |
| |
| "The system is as near as can be to the one in which a child |
| to talk."--_Troy Whig_. |
